BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to novel compounds capable of modulating,regulating and/or inhibiting tyrosine kinase signal transduction. Thepresent invention is also directed to methods of regulating, modulatingor inhibiting tyrosine kinases, whether of the receptor or non-receptorclass, for the prevention and/or treatment of disorders related tounregulated tyrosine kinase signal transduction, including cell growth,metabolic, and blood vessel proliferative disorders.

2. Description of the Related Art

Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) comprise a large and diverse class ofproteins having enzymatic activity. The PTKs play an important role inthe control of cell growth and differentiation.

For example, receptor tyrosine kinase mediated signal transduction isinitiated by extracellular interaction with a specific growth factor(ligand), followed by receptor dimerization, transient stimulation ofthe intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase activity and phosphorylation.Binding sites are thereby created for intracellular signal transductionmolecules and lead to the formation of complexes with a spectrum ofcytoplasmic signaling molecules that facilitate the appropriate cellularresponse (e.g., cell division, metabolic homeostasis, and responses tothe extracellular microenvironment).

With respect to receptor tyrosine kinases, it has been shown also thattyrosine phosphorylation sites function as high-affinity binding sitesfor SH2 (src homology) domains of signaling molecules. Severalintracellular substrate proteins that associate with receptor tyrosinekinases (RTKs) have been identified. They may be divided into twoprincipal groups: (1) substrates which have a catalytic domain; and (2)substrates which lack such domain but serve as adapters and associatewith catalytically active molecules. The specificity of the interactionsbetween receptors or proteins and SH2 domains of their substrates isdetermined by the amino acid residues immediately surrounding thephosphorylated tyrosine residue. Differences in the binding affinitiesbetween SH2 domains and the amino acid sequences surrounding thephosphotyrosine residues on particular receptors are consistent with theobserved differences in their substrate phosphorylation profiles. Theseobservations suggest that the function of each receptor tyrosine kinaseis determined not only by its pattern of expression and ligandavailability but also by the array of downstream signal transductionpathways that are activated by a particular receptor. Thus,phosphorylation provides an important regulatory step which determinesthe selectivity of signaling pathways recruited by specific growthfactor receptors, as well as differentiation factor receptors.

Aberrant expression or mutations in the PTKs have been shown to lead toeither uncontrolled cell proliferation (e.g. malignant tumor growth) orto defects in key developmental processes. Consequently, the biomedicalcommunity has expended significant resources to discover the specificbiological role of members of the PTK family, their function indifferentiation processes, their involvement in tumorigenesis and inother diseases, the biochemical mechanisms underlying their signaltransduction pathways activated upon ligand stimulation and thedevelopment of novel drugs.

Tyrosine kinases can be of the receptor-type (having extracellular,transmembrane and intracellular domains) or the non-receptor type (beingwholly intracellular).

The RTKs comprise a large family of transmembrane receptors with diversebiological activities. The intrinsic function of RTKs is activated uponligand binding, which results in phophorylation of the receptor andmultiple cellular substrates, and subsequently in a variety of cellularresponses.

At present, at least nineteen (19) distinct RTK subfamilies have beenidentified. One RTK subfamily, designated the HER subfamily, is believedto be comprised of EGFR, HER2, HER3 and HER4. Ligands to the Hersubfamily of receptors include epithelial growth factor (EGF), TGF-α,amphiregulin, HB-EGF, betacellulin and heregulin.

A second family of RTKs, designated the insulin subfamily, is comprisedof the INS-R, the IGF-1R and the IR-R. A third family, the “PDGF”subfamily includes the PDGF α and β receptors, CSFIR, c-kit and FLK-II.Another subfamily of RTKs, identified as the FLK family, is believed tobe comprised of the Kinase insert Domain-Receptor fetal liver kinase-1(KDR/FLK-1), the fetal liver kinase 4 (FLK-4) and the fms-like tyrosinekinase 1 (flt-1). Each of these receptors was initially believed to bereceptors for hematopoietic growth factors. Two other subfamilies ofRTKs have been designated as the FGF receptor family (FGFR1, FGFR2,FGFR3 and FGFR4) and the Met subfamily (c-met and Ron).

Because of the similarities between the PDGF and FLK subfamilies, thetwo subfamilies are often considered together. The known RTK subfamiliesare identified in Plowman et al, 1994, DN&.P 7(6): 334-339, which isincorporated herein by reference.

The non-receptor tyrosine kinases represent a collection of cellularenzymes which lack extracellular and transmembrane sequences. Atpresent, over twenty-four individual non-receptor tyrosine kinases,comprising eleven (11) subfamilies (Src, Frk, Btk, Csk, Abl, Zap70,Fes/Fps, Fak, Jak, Ack and LIMK) have been identified. At present, theSrc subfamily of non-receptor tyrosine kinases is comprised of thelargest number of PTKs and include Src, Yes, Fyn, Lyn, Lck, Blk, Hck,Fgr and Yrk. The Src subfamily of enzymes has been linked tooncogenesis. A more detailed discussion of non-receptor tyrosine kinasesis provided in Bolen, 1993, Oncogene 8: 2025-2031, which is incorporatedherein by reference.

Many of the tyrosine kinases, whether an RTK or non-receptor tyrosinekinase, have been found to be involved in cellular signaling pathwaysleading to cellular signal cascades leading to pathogenic conditions,including cancer, psoriasis and hyper immune response.

In view of the surmised importance of PTKs to the control, regulationand modulation of cell proliferation the diseases and disordersassociated with abnormal cell proliferation, many attempts have beenmade to identify receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinase “inhibitors”using a variety of approaches, including the use of mutant ligands (U.S.Pat. No. 4,966,849), soluble receptors and antibodies (PCT ApplicationNo. WO 94/10202; Kendall & Thomas, 1994, Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. 90:10705-09; Kim, et al, 1993, Nature 362: 841-844), RNA ligands (Jellinek,et al, Biochemistry 33: 10450-56); Takano, et al, 1993, Mol. Bio. Cell4:358A; Kinsella, et al, 1992, Exp. Cell Res. 199: 56-62; Wright, et al,1992. J. Cellular Phys. 152: 448-57) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (PCTApplication Nos. WO 94/03427; WO 92/21660; WO 91/15495; WO 94/14808;U.S. Pat. No. 5,330,992; Mariani, et al, 1994, Proc. Am. Assoc. CancerRes. 35: 2268).

More recently, attempts have been made to identify small molecules whichact as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. For example, bis monocyclic, bicyclicor heterocyclic aryl compounds (PCT Application No. WO 92/20642),vinylene-azaindole derivatives (PCT Application No. WO 94/14808) and1-cyclopropyl-4-pyridyl-quinolones (U.S. Pat. No. 5,330,992) have beendescribed generally as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Styryl compounds(U.S. Pat. No. 5,217,999), styryl-substituted pyridyl compounds (U.S.Pat. No. 5,302,606), certain quinazoline derivatives (EP Application No.0 566 266 A1), seleoindoles and selenides (PCT Application No. WO94/03427), tricyclic polyhydroxylic compounds (PCT Application No. WO92/21660) and benzylphosphonic acid compounds (PCT Application No. WO91/15495) have been described as compounds for use as tyrosine kinaseinhibitors for use in the treatment of cancer.

The identification of effective small compounds which specificallyinhibit signal transduction by modulating the activity of receptor andnon-receptor tyrosine kinases to regulate and modulate abnormal orinappropriate cell proliferation is therefore desirable and one objectof this invention.

In addition, certain small compounds are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos.5,792,783; 5,834,504; 5,883,113; 5,883,116 and 5,886,020 as useful forthe treatment of diseases related to unregulated TKS transduction. Seealso U.S. application Ser.

The present invention relates to compounds capable of regulating and/ormodulating tyrosine kinase signal transduction and more particularlyreceptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinase signal transduction.

Receptor tyrosine kinase mediated signal transduction is initiated byextracellular interaction with a specific growth factor (ligand),followed by receptor dimerization, transient stimulation of theintrinsic protein tyrosine kinase activity and phosphorylation. Bindingsites are thereby created for intracellular signal transductionmolecules and lead to the formation of complexes with a spectrum ofcytoplasmic signaling molecules that facilitate the appropriate cellularresponse (e.g., cell division, metabolic effects and responses to theextracellular microenvironment).

It has been shown that tyrosine phosphorylation sites in growth factorreceptors function as high-affinity binding sites for SH2 (src homology)domains of signaling molecules. Several intracellular substrate proteinsthat associate with receptor tyrosine kinases have been identified. Theymay be divided into two principal groups: (1) substrates which have acatalytic domain; and (2) substrates which lack such domain but serve asadapters and associate with catalytically active molecules. Thespecificity of the interactions between receptors and SH2 domains oftheir substrates is determined by the amino acid residues immediatelysurrounding the phosphorylated tyrosine residue. Differences in thebinding affinities between SH2 domains and the amino acid sequencessurrounding the phosphotyrosine residues on particular receptors areconsistent with the observed differences in their substratephosphorylation profiles. These observations suggest that the functionof each receptor tyrosine kinase is determined not only by its patternof expression and ligand availability but also by the array ofdownstream signal transduction pathways that are activated by aparticular receptor. Thus, phosphorylation provides an importantregulatory step which determines the selectivity of signaling pathwaysrecruited by specific growth factor receptors, as well asdifferentiation factor receptors.

Tyrosine kinase signal transduction results in, among other responses,cell proliferation, differentiation and metabolism. Abnormal cellproliferation may result in a wide array of disorders and diseases,including the development of neoplasia such as carcinoma, sarcoma,leukemia, glioblastoma, hemangioma, psoriasis, arteriosclerosis,arthritis and diabetic retinopathy (or other disorders related touncontrolled angiogenesis and/or vasculogenesis, e.g. maculardegeneration).

This invention is therefore directed to compounds which regulate,modulate and/or inhibit tyrosine kinase signal transduction by affectingthe enzymatic activity of the RTKs and/or the non-receptor tyrosinekinases and interfering with the signal transduced such proteins. Moreparticularly, the present invention is directed to compounds whichregulate, modulate and/or inhibit the RTK and/or non-receptor tyrosinekinase mediated signal transduction pathways as a therapeutic approachto cure many kinds of solid tumors, including but not limited tocarcinoma, sarcoma, leukemia, erythroblastoma, glioblastoma, meningioma,astrocytoma, melanoma and myoblastoma. Indications may include, but arenot limited to brain cancers, bladder cancers, ovarian cancers, gastriccancers, pancreas cancers, colon cancers, blood cancers, lung cancersand bone cancers.

The invention is further illustrated by the following non-limitingexamples.
